Philippe More, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (Quebec), Brouillons pour un siècle abstrait.
(Poètes de brousse; distributed by Messageries ADP) (ISBN 978-2923338-20-0)

This vehement poetry expresses rebellion against death with tragic fervour. Hoarse and abrupt, the voice, exasperated with the erosion of the body, denounces the incurable disease of life and the powerlessness of man to assume the threat of his extinction. A cry of anguish in poems, a voice that catches its breath with emotion.
